Good day, myLot family. I have a hard time memorizing the names of people I meet, so I don't always remember them if I don't meet them again. I had this booklet written by Dale Carnegie which tells me how influential for a person to remember names. So I tried it. Every morning when I first get out of the house and see my neighbors, I tried greeting them with their names. "Hey, Joy.", "Good morning, John", "Jonas, it's cold this morning, isn't it?". Even if I have nothing important to tell them I tried telling them anything as long as I mention their names. And, WOW! It's like magic. Everyone in the neighborhood seems to like me more than anyone else. More and more new people greets me even if I haven't met them yet. So, I took efforts in asking others about their names. The next time we met, I'm the first one to greet them mentioning their names. Calling people by their names works like a huge magnet. It draws everyone close to you. You can try it. Just for few days. Then, you can tell me about your experience. I'll wait for your response. Good luck.. P.S. Noting their names will ensure you won't forget them.
